itβs sooo funny when rude customers encounter employees who can deny them service for the first time.
i was working at a little cafe where I could deny service over bad behavior, harassment etc. & mask mandates had just ended a week before & already people were being weird about me still wearing mineβan N95, the kind shaped kinda like a duckbill.
so this man walked in, looked at me sooo scathingly, laughed at me, and said βdamn. never known a woman to chooseβ¦practicality over looks.β
And I just said, βoh. you can go, youβre not getting a drink.β And he said, βwhat???β
I said, βsir, you just walked in at 6 am & called women impractical and me ugly in one sentence.β
And he was so astonished he didnβt even argue he just turned around and left πππ» it was like he suddenly became self aware
One summer I was running ferry rides across a lake so people could see the waterfalls without walking 6 miles when a guy snapped my bra strap as he was boarding the boat. So i immediately threw him off, he started yelling for my manager, my boss cheerfully informed him that, yeah, sheβs the captain of the boat and she can kick off anyone she wants. He goes to storm off, looks expectantly at his girlfriend, and she just goes, βWell, IβM not walking six miles, Michael! Iβll meet you back at the car!β and sits right back down!!!!
The expression on his face when he was told that he couldnβt get on the boat, then immediately told that his girlfriend was ditching him? PRICELESS. he just blinked at her and then stormed off like a child. I gave her a free hat and was like maybe rethink this relationshipβ¦β¦.
i once had this fucker come up to order a beer. while i pour it he shows me the wanky fucking chemical structure tattoo on his arm and heβs like βhey. you know what this isβ i was like βnah sorryβ (never cared abt chemistry in school, plus having to look at a some randoβs pretentious tattoo gives me the douche chills). he decides to respond with βheh. you must not read many booksβ
i immediately stop pouring his beer. i reply: βheh. you must not want this beer.β thirsty boy immediately starts groveling like a worm βplease please no i do want the beer im sorry im sorryβ believe me when i say it was one of the most pathetic things ive ever witnessed
gotta love people immediately backpedaling when they realise that there are Consequences To Being Mean
I genuinely believe that part of why it has become so normalized to be openly callous and evil in politics is that customer service culture has trained affluent people that they can treat everyone they consider beneath them however they want and still be treated kindly.
